They really know how to find a place; this abandoned factory hasn't seen a single person in ages.

If something really happens here, I bet even if I shout myself hoarse, no one will come.

Knowing their destination, Qi Jiu stopped glaring at Lin Yan and switched places with him, speeding all the way to the factory.

The timing was perfect, and thanks to the shortcut they took, they arrived just as the GPS stopped.

The abandoned factory didn't even have a door anymore; Qin Yao noticed Qi Jiu as soon as she arrived. Looking at Qi Jiu, she saw that instead of feeling guilty for being caught doing something wrong, Qi Jiu smiled even more happily.

"There are only two of you? Are you crazy? You think you can take on us? Where did you get your confidence from?!"

Qin Yao waved, and the burly men beside her came forward one after another, their muscular arms resembling Popeye after eating spinach.

Qi Jiu ignored her and looked behind her. Shen Sisi was unconscious, but apart from her school uniform being a little dirty, she was perfectly fine.

but……

"Why is this young master of the Lu family here too?"

Lin Yan was dumbfounded. Are kidnappings nowadays always done in pairs?

Qi Jiu pursed her lips. "It should be used as a scapegoat."

Lin Yan: "..."

Lu Zhe: "..."

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"Brother? Is this the right place? It's so remote. Could it be that Lu Zhe made a mistake? Or did he lose his phone?"

They did not receive an emergency call for help, but they did receive a text message.

They rushed over the moment they saw the text message.

"This is it."

Qi Silin got out of the car, but after taking only two steps, he was so shocked by the scene inside the abandoned factory that he stopped in his tracks. Chongyu and Liuyun, seeing his movement, also craned their necks to look inside.

The person slamming the big man's head against the wall is... Qi Jiu?

"Seven...Boss Seven?!" Chong Yu stared at the agile figure inside, his mind completely blank.

Liu Yun was completely dumbfounded.

At this point, it can only be said that the three of them arrived a bit too late; most of the people were already lying on the ground, half-dead.

Upon seeing this, Qi Silin led Chongyu and Liuyun inside, and soon only the five of them remained standing there.

Lin Yan rubbed the blond hair on his head. "You guys came to rescue the Lu family kid? Why are you only arriving now? I'm exhausted from fighting."

These burly men must be professional thugs; each of them is quite skilled.

After saying that, he kicked the person in front of him away.

“Lu Zhe only asked us for help ten minutes ago, and this is already the fastest we could go.”

As Qi Silin spoke, his eyes turned to Qi Jiu beside him.

At this moment, the girl's sportswear was open wide, revealing a dirty white short-sleeved shirt underneath, stained with dust and blood. Her hands were stained red with blood.

"We arrived as soon as we received Lu Zhe's urgent SOS text message. We ran countless red lights along the way. All I can say is that Lu Zhe's SOS came too late."

"Waaaaah!"

Chongyu was about to argue when he realized that the two people tied to the seats had woken up at some point.

Seeing this, Qi Jiu did not stop at all. She went over and untied the rope binding Chen Sisi, and also took out the cloth that was stuffed in her mouth.

"Sisi? Are you alright?"

Shen Sisi looked at the person in front of her, tears welling up in her eyes. She had just opened her eyes when she saw Qiqi slamming someone against the wall. To be honest, such ruthlessness had indeed frightened her, but now, she felt very close to her.

Qi Jiu seemed to sense something as well, "Afraid of me?"

Looking at myself now, I realized that I didn't look very good either. My white short-sleeved shirt was stained with mud and blood, and my hands were also dirty.

"No, why would I be afraid of you?"

She just didn't expect Qiqi to fight so fiercely, but just now, Qiqi was truly the light in her life.

Lu Zhe was also dumbfounded. He knew that Chong Yu and Qi Silin were good fighters, but he didn't expect Qi Jiu to be so good as well.

Those big men, putting aside any fighting techniques, seemed to have the upper hand just by their size. But this ancestor just slammed their heads against the wall.

Is this human? Whose little girl fights like this?

"Sister Qi! This woman is trying to run away!"

Lin Yan grabbed Qin Yao's wrist and threw her in front of Qi Jiu.

Qin Yao was terrified. She lay on the ground, trembling from head to toe. Looking at the unconscious men lying on the ground, she unconsciously clenched her teeth.

How come these people are so easily defeated?

Did they actually call in any good thugs?

"Qin Yao".

Qi Jiu moved from in front of Chen Sisi to in front of Qin Yao, and lifted her chin with her bloodstained hand.

"The Qin family is a thing of the past. I had anticipated your backup plan, but the Shen family didn't expect you to drag this out for so long."

The girl's tone was flat, as if Mingqian were nothing more than a wisp of air.

"Are you jealous of Sisi?"

One sentence directly exposed Qin Yao's thoughts, and she, who had been calm and composed, now seemed to have been mentally stimulated.

"I'm jealous of her? Yes, I'm jealous of her! Why is it that she was born into a good family? Why does she have such a powerful voice in City A? Why is Lu Zhe so good to her? We've known each other for much longer!"

Qin Yao laughed loudly, "Why is everyone on her side? Even you, her adopted daughter, are on her side! You shouldn't be like this! You should take everything away from her!"

The empty cement factory echoed with Qin Yao's chilling laughter. Chen Sisi was stunned, not knowing that Qin Yao was thinking this way.

Qi Jiu flung away the hand that was pinching her chin and wiped it on the ground with a hint of disgust.

"ill."

She has no interest in acting out scenes that only happen in TV dramas.

Qi Silin pulled out a handkerchief from somewhere and handed it to Qi Jiu.

"She has serious mental health issues."

The girl looked at the clean handkerchief in front of her and wiped the dust and bloodstains from her hands onto it without any pity.

Liu Yun watched her actions, and was about to say something, but seeing that Qi Silin's face showed no anger at all, she swallowed the words that were about to come out.

“The Qin family is gone, and she has mental problems, so the police shouldn’t take her in.”

Chongyu looked annoyed. The police wouldn't arrest someone with mental problems. Was she just going to let such a big thing go?

Qi Jiu stuck out her tongue and licked her slightly dry lips.

"Then lock him up in a mental hospital for life, and never let him out."

"What right do you have? Why should you get to decide my life?" Qin Yao tried to get up from the ground, but Qi Jiu kicked her back down.

“I really am the one in charge. I will hire a caregiver to take special care of you.”

She emphasized the word "special," and Qi Silin didn't interrupt, because he understood that Qin Yao's arrogance today was entirely due to the support she received from the Qi family.
